Pokermancer is a roguelite poker-puzzle game built for quick, strategic runs. Trace paths through a 4x4 grid of cards to create poker hands and reach the target score. Cleared cards disappear, new cards fall in from your deck, and every path you draw can matter as much as the hand you form. Between rounds, spend your gold in the Break Room on trinkets and items that change how you score. Discover powerful synergies, shape your build, and turn modest hands into massive results. Each floor adds new hazards that change the board, including frozen, burning, and statically charged cards. Every fifth round, a boss changes up the rules. Adapt your strategy or lose the run! Beat all five tables to unlock Overtime, an escalating difficulty mode with ten ranks that remove resources, add challenges, and push your builds even further. Play for free through the first three floors. One purchase unlocks the full game! Features: * 100+ trinkets and 30+ items to collect * 11 unique starting packs each with their own perks and spells * 25+ boss conditions * 7 hazard types to contend with * 10 Overtime difficulty ranks per pack * Keep playing in an endless mode beyond floor 5 * Portrait orientation and one-handed play * No ads, no loot boxes, no pay-to-win; one purchase unlocks the entire game and all future content

About

Glissa

Features
Read full description

Glissa is a calm, glossy puzzle game where gems behave like liquid. Gems of the same colour reach out to each other and fuse into soft, breathing blobs. Swipe a gem one step to join its colour into a blob of four or more, and the blob bursts, pulling together into a single drop before it pops. The board refills from above and new blobs form on their own. Bigger blobs leave something behind: • Five: a glide gem that sends a bar of light along its row, column or diagonal, melting through every gem it passes. • Six: an ink gem that dyes the gems around it into its own colour, so they fuse and burst next. • Seven or more: mercury, a chrome drop that swallows every gem of the colour you swap it with. Swap two special gems together and both go off, stronger. Every scene is drawn live on your phone's graphics chip: the gems are shapes made of light and maths rather than pictures, which is how they can melt into each other so smoothly. • 60 hand-tuned levels with score targets, colours to collect and three stars to earn • Gentle waves of light that roll across the board between moves • Short, satisfying end-of-level bonus (tap to skip) • Sound effects and haptics, each easy to turn off • Plays offline.
